2018 Resident Camps

Resident Camp

Six days/five nights, campers entering 2nd-6th grade

Campers will love this five-night program, filled with fun and lots of new experiences. Throughout the week, campers will build relationships with their cabin mates and counselors. Camp Shand prides itself on cabins with a maximum of eight campers and at least one counselor. Campers will have the opportunity to choose activities such as pool and lakefront activities (canoeing and kayaking), critter hikes and nature activities on the camp’s 120 acres, arts & crafts, archery, music and drama, our 24-foot climbing wall, 40-foot high ropes course and much more! Each week concludes with a family campfire for everyone to come and see all the fun that has occurred during a wonderful week at Camp Shand.

Base Camp

13 days/12 nights, campers entering 2nd-6th grade
Have you looked it over and realized one week just isn’t enough time to experience Camp Shand to the fullest? Well, just for you, we have created the Base Camp two-week program! Come to camp for two weeks instead of one, plus a great stay over weekend in between! On Friday of the first week, parents and families are invited to come to camp for a visit from 5-7 PM. Over the weekend, campers enjoy camp all to themselves, and take a special field trip on Saturday. This program has a special rate, so campers are getting more from the camp experience, and you pay less!

Resident Camp Lite

Three days/Two nights, campers entering 1st-6th grade
This is the perfect program for campers who are ready for their first “sleep away” camp experience. Children will have opportunities for all of the traditional Camp Shand activities and fun, packed into a shorter program. First-timer campers will get to enjoy a close bond with Camp Shand’s top-notch staff, as this program incorporates a greater staff to camper ratio.

Resident Camp Extreme

Campers entering 7th-9th grade
Take resident camp to the extreme! If you thought resident camp was fun, wait ’til you see these camping adventures! Spend days (and nights!) exploring the outlying areas of Camp Shand.

Stay Over Weekends

Extra two days/two nights, for resident campers entering 2nd-10th grade
Here’s a great way to spend a little extra time at camp, with a small group of campers. Over the weekend campers enjoy camp all to themselves and take a special field trip on Saturday. To sign up for a stay over weekend, campers must be registered for the week before and/or the week after that weekend. If arriving on Friday, please come between 5 and 6 PM. If departing on Sunday, pick up is between 11:30 AM and 12 PM. Stay over campers also receive a free T-Shirt!
